Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Panel 1
Cut to: Monty's lab at the Roaz mansion. Diana and Wook are entering the room through a doorway in the middle-ground left, Monty (Panther) is at a console in the foreground right.
Caption: Even packed up, the 'chateau' was too big to fit in our flyer, so I had it 'hopped' to Alyss' mansion. Wook and I got over there as fast as we could in the flyer.
Diana: Monty! We got here as quick as we could.
Monty: Oh! Well, I've finished the examination. Time for a break.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Diana, Wook, Monty. Diana is looking exasperated.
Caption: I knew Monty was joking. He never took breaks.
Diana: Oh, come on. We didn't take that long.
Monty: It would have been here a lot sooner if you had hopped-in along with this model of a hyper-cubexahedron.
Diana: A hyper-whozit?
Panel 3
Now we can see the chateau-model in its closed-up mode, suspended in a null-grav field nearby.
Monty: A hyper-cubexahedron. You've heard of hyper-cubes, right?
Monty: That's a cube extended into four dimensions.
Monty: This is a hexagon extended into four dimensions. Sort of.
Panel 4
Back to three-shot. Diana is looking pained.
Diana: Four dimensions … unh. I'm getting a headache.
Monty: You see? You're just really headache-prone. Stop blaming the hoppers.
Diana: Now, it's worse.
